Famous quotes containing the words die and/or cast:
“And as long as this is not part of you,
This die and become,
You are but a somber guest
On this dark earth.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
